Are we plotting a late heist?

Would need to be a big fish plus some picks wouldn't it? As far as I can tell, we only have 2 draft picks now right? And we have to use at least 3. Bit lost among all the updated 'indicative orders' now though tbh...

    I hope it is a real big fish. Cameron, Whitfield, Finlayson....

    Otherwise, if you know how to hold em, the shuffling and dealing goes on until the draft.

    The lack of riddles this year has really been disappointing. 
    What happened to everyone on Demonland with inside knowledge and mates?

     Think you can always just upgrade rookies or use picks at the end of the draft. Salary cap is probably the bigger concern, to land someone big we'd have to trade someone out. 2 deals from nowhere in the last 24 hours of trade period - seems unlikely

    Not sure someone who got  literally 1 possession in the grand final should be someone we should be giving up a top 10 pick for??

    Yeah, we don't have to use a pick to upgrade a rookie anymore right? So technically we could draft 2 players, then just upgrade a rookie, and that counts as our 3?

    Based on our recent trade strategy perhaps they are looking at making sure we bring in two good young players this year.

    My only thought is if it is a big fish two top ten pick would have to bring back a Jeremy Cameron type but for salary we'd have to be sending a decent earner back out to make this work.

    To judge a player's worth on one game in isolation is simplistic thinking IMO.  No doubt his GF was a stinker all the same.

    It's an ugly stat that aligns with the sports trivia question that's bound to be asked in the future...

    Q/ Who kicked 3 goals in the 2019 AFL Grand Final?

    A/ GWS

    All I can say is, we better not be planning a big name trade, we better have it sorted ALREADY. If we don't use picks 3 and/or 8, or pick 8 in some combo to secure a needed gun, that has to be the stupidest trade of all time.  One first rounder for a first, second and third rounder. FFS.

    We're in the best position possible going into last day of trade period.

    Two extremely valuable picks are on the table if the right offer pops up.

    We'll be sitting back, cross-legged with cigar in mouth knowing that if nothing comes up, we go to the draft with two top 10 picks a year after making a prelim. 

    Added to that is the fact that we've addressed a problem area with the additions of Langdon and to a lesser extent Tomlinson. No longer will we have to play inside midfielders on a wing. 

    And this is all without mentioning the fact that we have a pre-season with Burgess coming up. One of the most highly respected fitness coaches around.

    I'm putting a cheeky $20 on us for top 4 next year.

    Dees.

    I think this is a more than optimistic view of our list TBH.  I can make an argument for improvement - Langdon, pre-seasons, healthy list, but I can also make an argument that we will have a similar (8th - 12th) year next year.

    Agreed, I was saying it in jest a little.

    However, if we were to trade pick 3 for Finlayson, I’d be wanting some pretty damn valuable assets back our way.

    Finlayson has a good finals series but to get 1 possession in a grand final is simply pathetic.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
